Your video files are
terribly inefficient.

They were written by a camera tuned for recording fast, not for storing well, and they have been sitting there ever since at two, three, four times the size they need to be.

Shockingly effective.

Paranoid
by design.

Your files are too important to lose. Nothing goes missing at any point in the pipeline, no matter what fails.

Near-identical quality

Visually-lossless compression tuned for footage. If you can spot the difference, we want to hear about it.

One drive costs nearly three minifys. And the drive fills up again.

The paranoid section.
